If you are investigating a career change in to I.T., its very likely that you'll want to start out somewhere amidst these programs, subject to your current level of IT literacy. We'd suggest you look at your ideas on training programs and IT careers with an experienced advisor if you've got more technical ambitions. Essentially anyone thinking of training to lead to a professional career change should be prepared to take proper advice before starting out. Half an hour of time spent preparing & assessing the most effective route forward will be worth it twelve months or so from now.

Every program under consideration must provide a fully recognised major exam as an end-result - definitely not some 'in-house' diploma - fit only for filing away and forgetting. Unless your qualification is issued by a company like Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe or CompTIA, then chances are it will be commercially useless - as it'll be an unknown commodity.

Should you want to opt for the first levels of Professional I.T. accreditation, then User & Systems Support might be a valid move. The 'Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician' ('MCDST') is certainly an excellent certification if you are planning to provide technical support for business users. You'd normally need around a hundred hours of study for this grade.

More in-depth IT accreditations will lead you to full Professional rank. The most popular starting place for hardware-support, networking & security roles are the CompTIA 'A+' and Network+ certifications. Training will teach you about hard-ware and network installations at a fundamental level, plus aspects of security, support & administration. The majority of blended 'A+' and 'Network+' training programmes will take the average person approximately 200 to 250 hrs to work through, so can successfully be studied around a full time job.
